What did you do to your Ram today???

[HSKR R/T]

Got the Hellwig on. One of the brackets didn't line up so I need to reach out to them or get the dremel out. Was able to use the Hellwig poly bushings with the factory brackets, so I might just leave it. I put them on the middle hole.

Initial impressions are good. Just drove it a few miles.

Anyone run them on the most aggressive setting?

I installed mine on closest hole from the get go and never looked back. I wanted the firmest setting. Not compromising my handling.

Someone else has same issue with the Hellwig sway bar brackets. They contacted Hellwig and they sent them a replacement. It's like someone grabbed the wrong bracket out of parts bin

Very cool, very aggressive style! But...won't be fun cleaning it! Truck will look mean!

I'm anxious to see the change these wheels will make.

Can't remember if I posted here before or not. Been wanting to color match my center caps to the Built to Serve gray wheels. Took a shot at the Stealth Gray Hyperdip from dioyourcar.com in their black Friday sale. Initial pictures in the garage looked a little more difference in color. Daylight pics seem closer. First three pictures are from inside garage. Last two are outside in sunlight

Took off my running boards. They came on my truck. Were chrome. I put truck bed liner on them to get black. Started cracking a little so I took them off. Man am I glad I did. Way better looks and easier for me to get in and out of the truck

I think it looks fine. Hard to tell what color the wheels are from the pics, but kinda looks like this would match pretty well.

I repainted my Mustang console with it.

Hey there cold air intake enthusiast!!! This is a very long thread, and if I searched hard, I am sure I may find my answer. But, I am feeling a little lazy and maybe someone might know this answer right off the bat. Has anyone in the good ol' heavily regulated state of California, find a place that will mail them a CAI? I found some great prices, but my address causes that awesome we can't deliver to you kick in the butt. If you don't want to put it on blast, PM me. Thanks.

“What I did today” was discover that our trucks are no faster than a new Chevy Silverado 5.3.
Nothing planned or anything just a random guy at a stop light, we took off and literally stayed with each other exactly.
This makes me want a tune…

Got both tailgate actuators replaced today. Got tired of not gettin at my crap in the box.

Installed Midland MTX115, still need to figure out what to do with the microphone.

I've beat several at the drag strip.

Did you get em on the top end? We only went up to 60ish. I think if I had actually launched the thing I could’ve kicked em but I didn’t and neither did he lol

Didn't those new lights make you go any faster?

I bought 20" Bighorn Chrome wheels from @MG99 a month ago, wrapped them in Blizzak DM-V2s in OEM size (275/55/R20) and installed them on the RAM 1500 Limited Night Edition. Chrome on a Night Edition truck I thought would look weird but I actually like it. No intention to change it any time soon and by that I mean I was thinking of stripping the chrome and powder coasting the OEM wheels in a matte black.

Here are the OEM 22" wheels for reference:

Swap was easy. I run two sets of wheels on all of my cars because I can swap them in my yard with a floor jack. I almost always run smaller winter wheels so my Golf R runs 19s in Summer, 17s in Winter, same for our Golf Wagon and other vehicles. So 22 to 20 both allows me to have a lot more side-wall and it makes tires in winter cheaper to replace. I visually prefer the 22" night edition wheels but 20" wheel & tires are just more economical for our rough Winters.

I am a Blizzak Fan on pretty much everything. We have in our stable, LM-32, WS-80 and now these DM-V2s. They're louder than the stock tires of course. No TPMS errors and I expect the sensors to sync up pretty fast.

What year Golf R? I'm a VW nut.
MK7.5 R is my dream car, someday I'll have one. The new MK8 R is a rocketship.

2016 R...had a 2012 R and VERY tempted to upgrade to the 8th gen but the 7th gen I have has had thousands of hours of time put into by me and others so I am pretty emotionally connected to it more than any other project I've had. At this point, It's putting down 400 HP / 390 torque to all 4 wheels and only 3200 curb weight. It's tuned to be true 50/50 split in all drive modes between the axles so close to 200 torque per axle. The new model has a much better rear clutch that can send power independent to each wheel versus mine that uses that braking system for power delivery which isn't very efficient. 0-60 time on mine is around 3.2 and quarter mile in 11.4. It's not much to look at. I've done nothing flashy to it at all and the engine bay looks completely stock despite having a lot of stuff changed. Here are a few photos - https://flickr.com/search/?user_id=44048128@N00&view_all=1&text=bertha&sort=date-posted-desc It's 6 years old and only has 50K miles on it now and the past 3 years I only take it to track / drag strip events and store it in the winter. I could keep it forever at this point.

Nope, was in front, and pulling away, the whole race. Launch in 4- high.

I’ve always been nervous about that given how small the front driveshaft is, can the 4wd system really take hard launches like that consistently?

Very nice, they look so good in Lapiz Blue.
I'm VW'less at the moment but my last one was a '13 GTI DSG. Full bolt on, Audi S3 intercooler, all charge pipes replaced and turbo muffler deleted. Stage 2 tune by Stratified, 3" turbo back with cat delete. R8 coil packs, APR Carbonio stage 2 intake system, GFB Diverter valve. Full H&R suspension with adjustable swaybars. Pushing a little over 23lbs of boost it was a very quick car....once it got traction, lol!!

your setup makes me think you had to rotate your front tires to rear every 500 miles. Lol.

Had the Rhino spray in liner done yesterday and will be having Krown rust proofing done next week.

2019 Ram Rebel with 3rd application of Krown rust proofing. This stuff keeps my daily driver protected from the salty winter roads, love it.
